"; vision of a safety razor of simple desirable construction, which is eficient in operation, and which can be manufactured and sold at a reasonable cost.

The invention consists in forming a top clamp member with elongated projections on its underside, and threadedly connectin a handle therewith,a razor blade and a safety member being clamped between the top clamp member and the handle. lhe razor blade and" the safety member are former with elongated slots engaging the said elongated projections. lhe edges of the safety member are formed with very wide openings, and the safety razor isdesigned to be flat and not curved when clam ed. An auxiliary safety member is slidagly and adjustably arranged on thesafety member so that the said wide openings may be adjusted.

For further comprehension of the invention and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly setforth.

Referring to the accompanying drawing, forming a material part of this disclosure:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a device constructed according to the invention.

Fig. 2 is a side view of the top clamp member, used in the invention device.

Fig. 3 is a bottom view of the clamp member shown in Fig. 2.

F1 .d is a plan view of a razor blade used in this invention.

Fig; 5 is a plan view of a safety member used in this invention.

Fig. 6 is a side view of a handle used in this invention.

mentary transverse vertical Y 11 and a central threaded a erture 12. A handle 14 having a knurled esign thereon, is formed with a threaded reduced end 15, forming a shoulder 16, the threaded end 15 being engageable in the threadedaperture 12.

A-razor blade 17 is formed with a pair of elongated slots 18 engageable with the projections 11 and with an aperture'l!) aligned with aperture 12 when the projections 11 engage the slots.

A safety member 20 is formed with elongated slots 21 engageable with projections 11' and a central aperture 22 aligned with apertures 19 and 12 when the parts are in place. The edges of the safety member are formed with very wide openings 23. 'llhe blade 17 is placed beneath the top clamp member 10 and safety member 20 beneath the blade. 17,

and the part .15 of, the handle is passed through the apertures 22 and 19 and engaged in 12, the shoulder 16'acting to hold the parts tightly in place.

The safety member 20 is provided with an auxiliary safety member 20 slidably connected by means of dove-tailed connection 31. A set screw 32 threadedly passes through member 20 and abuts member 20 to lock Y auxiliary member 20 in adjusted positions. The size of the openings 23 may be adjusted by adjusting the position of the auxiliary member 20* and this adjustment changes the amount of cut hair and soap which enters and passes through openings'23.

It is thought that the shaving operation of the invention is clear from the above disclos sure.

ile I have described my invention with some degree of particularity, I realize that in practice various alterations therein may be made. I therefore reserve the right and privilege of changing the details or otherwise altering the arrangement of the correlated parts without departing from the spirit or the scope of the a pended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is: j

1. In a safety razor, a safety member with wide openings, for-clamping a razor blade against a top member, an aumliary safety i member slidably mounted on the said safety member, and a set screw threadedlydpassed thru the auxiliary safet member an abutting the said safety mem or so that the operative size of the wide openings of the safety member may be adjusted.

' 2. In a safety razor, a safety member with -w ide openings, for clamping ,a razor blade against a top member, an auxiliary safety member slidably mounted on the said safety member by meansof a dove-tailed connection, and a set screw threadedly passed thru the auxiliary safety member and abutting the said safety member so that the operative size of the wide openings of the safetymember may be. adjusted.

3. In a safety razor, a safety member with wide openings, for clamping a razor blade againsta top member, an auxiliary safety member slidably mounted on the said safety member, and a means for holding the auxiliary safety member in fixed positions relative to the said safety member so that the operative" size of the wide openings of the safety member ma be adjusted.

In testimony w ereof I have aflixed my signature.
